The Dukes of Mystic Falls
1.
Damon Salvatore earned the nickname 'the blue-eyed demon' by his mother, Lily, from blowing shit up and often being a nuisance. Some years before, Lily separated from her husband, Giuseppe, and each took a son to raise. Neither had been in contact since, but Stefan, Damon's younger brother by eight years, had his own problems. He often sped through intersections and crashed into dustbins and had failed his drivers' licence four times, so Lily and Giuseppe decided it would do them both good, if they sent them to be with Giuseppe's brother, Zach, who owned a Boarding House in Mystic Falls.
Both Salvatores, though they didn't know it at the time, disembarked the bus, surprised when Uncle Zach called them over. A competitive Damon elbowed Stefan in the face to get to the boarding house first while Stefan retaliated, diving through the door and wrestling him to the ground. Uncle Zach sidestepped both, hauling their suitcases inside. "Nice to see you boys haven't changed," he said startling them. Damon rose to his feet, curiously eyeing Stefan. "Steffy? Damon asked.
"Damon?" Stefan's eyes grew huge in awe. "It's been years!" he hugged his brother with a grin.
Uncle Zach closed the front door. "Guess who else decided to visit?" They looked quizzical. "My daughter, Sarah. You remember, Sarah? I must remember to pick her up from Bible camp, you can meet her then." Damon and Stefan remembered Sarah, she had been six or seven the last time they'd had a family function together. They arrived outside the church right on time. Uncle Zach spotted Sarah at the top of the stairs holding a certificate.
Not far behind her was Matt Donovan, a helpful boy of the same age, who caught hold of her when she missed a step in her excitement to meet her cousins. She showered them with hugs and kisses, having not changed at all, albeit taller, but still wearing plaid shirts and shorts. Damon smirked at the girls wearing pretty dresses and flirty smiles nearby. Uncle Zach asked what she had in her hand. "Oh it's a virginity oath - all the girls signed it - it means we all agreed we won't have sex til marriage, isn't it great?" Damon and Stefan groaned, but Sarah didn't even notice their obvious disappointment, telling her father all about her day.
That night, after the boys had done their chores and Uncle Zach and Sarah had retired to bed, Damon pulled up the window and decided to check out the Mystic Grill: he hoped they had bourbon. Stefan woke at the thud, and the two brothers entered the bar. Much to their dismay Sarah had beaten them inside with an application and a frown. Her whole attire looked out of place compared to the other waitresses, making Damon roll his eyes, patting Stefan on the shoulder when he stopped to ask Sarah what was the matter.
"I'll get us drinks," he said, giving Sarah another hopeless look, before heading to the bar. Sarah flung her arms in the air. "They wouldn't hire me. I don't get it, how hard could it be?" Stefan smiled, but secretly agreed with Damon, Sarah wasn't that type of waitress. He looked up to see Damon jerking his head for him to join him. "Don't worry, it just wasn't meant to be. I'll see you back at home." She nodded, glancing over her shoulder at the cute bar manager, and deciding then, she wouldn't be deterred, she would get this job.
After a few drinks each, Stefan and Damon returned home. The next morning they did their chores and errands for the Boarding House, and then Uncle Zach shared the news that he was being forced to sell the property because of new land developers. "But it's your home?" Sarah said, picking up a delivery of magazines with a green face mask that made Damon cringe. "I'll find a new one." Uncle Zach shrugged. "But there's got to be some other way..." Stefan said, looking to Damon for help.
Damon had dug around the Boarding House and uncovered Uncle Zach's underground hobby of selling (illegal) moonshine to Mystic Falls' residents. "Why don't we help you sell this stuff?" he said, picking up an empty bottle that stank of moonshine. "I couldn't ask you to do that." Uncle Zach shook his head. "Well, we're not going to let them kick you out, it's our home too." Damon folded his arms. "We just need a car," he said, watching Stefan's eyes light up.
